Which of the following cannot be explained by crystal field theory?
The primary and secondary valencies of cobalt respectively in $\mathrm{[Co(NH_3)_5Cl]Cl_2}$ are :
Explanation:
The $t_{2g}$ orbitals are lower in energy than the $e_g$ orbitals.
The $\mathrm{Co}^{2+}$ ion has a d$^7$ electron configuration, with three electrons in the $t_{2g}$ set and two electrons in the $e_g$ set. In an octahedral crystal field, the three $t_{2g}$ orbitals will be lower in energy than the two $e_g$ orbitals. Therefore, the three electrons in the $t_{2g}$ set will occupy all three $t_{2g}$ orbitals, and the two electrons in the $e_g$ set will occupy the higher energy $e_g$ orbitals. As a result, there is only $\boxed{1}$ unpaired electron in the $t_{2g}$ set of orbitals.
The ratio of spin-only magnetic moment values $\mu_{\text {eff }}\left[\mathrm{Cr}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]^{3-} / \mu_{\text {eff }}\left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{6}\right]^{3+}$ is _________.
Explanation:
Despite the difference in ligands (CN- and H2O), both complexes have a low-spin configuration because CN- is a strong field ligand and H2O is a weak field ligand. This configuration is denoted as $\mathrm{t}_{2g}^3 \mathrm{e}_{\mathrm{g}}^0$, indicating that there are three unpaired electrons in the t2g orbital and no unpaired electrons in the eg orbital.
Using the spin-only magnetic moment formula, $\mu = \sqrt{n(n+2)}$, where n is the number of unpaired electrons, we find that :
For $[\mathrm{Cr}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}]^{3-}$, the spin-only magnetic moment is $\mu_{1}=\sqrt{3(3+2)} = \sqrt{15}$ BM.
And for $[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{6}]^{3+}$, the spin-only magnetic moment is also $\mu_{2}=\sqrt{3(3+2)} = \sqrt{15}$ BM.
Therefore, the ratio of the spin-only magnetic moments is $\frac{\mu_{1}}{\mu_{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{\sqrt{15}} = 1$.
So, the spin-only magnetic moment of $[\mathrm{Cr}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}]^{3-}$ is equal to the spin-only magnetic moment of $[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{6}]^{3+}$.
For a metal ion, the calculated magnetic moment is $4.90 ~\mathrm{BM}$. This metal ion has ___________ number of unpaired electrons.
Explanation:
Using the equation $\mu = \sqrt{n(n+2)}$, where $\mu$ is the magnetic moment and $n$ is the number of unpaired electrons, we can substitute $\mu = 4.90$:
$4.90 = \sqrt{n(n+2)}$
Squaring both sides of the equation:
$(4.90)^2 = n(n+2)$
$24 = n^2 + 2n$
Rearranging the equation:
$n^2 + 2n - 24 = 0$
Solving the quadratic equation, we find:
$n =4$
Therefore, the metal ion has 4 unpaired electrons.
In potassium ferrocyanide, there are ________ pairs of electrons in the $t_{2g}$ set of orbitals.
Explanation:
$ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{Fe}^{+2}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 \mathrm{~d}^6 \\\\ & \mathrm{CN}^{-}=\mathrm{SFL} \end{aligned} $
$\mathrm{t}_{2 \mathrm{~g}}$ contain 6 electron so it become 3 pairs
The observed magnetic moment of the complex $\left.\left[\operatorname{Mn}(\underline{N} C S)_{6}\right)\right]^{x^{-}}$ is $6.06 ~\mathrm{BM}$. The numerical value of $x$ is __________.
Explanation:
The complex is given as $[\mathrm{Mn}(\mathrm{NCS})_{6}]^{x-}$. Here, $\mathrm{NCS}^{-}$ acts as a ligand. Each $\mathrm{NCS}^{-}$ has a charge of -1 and since there are six of them, they contribute a total charge of -6 to the complex.
Manganese (Mn) in this complex is in the +2 oxidation state. We know this because in its ground state, Mn has 5 electrons in its 3d orbitals and 2 electrons in its 4s orbital. But in the Mn²⁺ cation, the 2 electrons from the 4s orbital have been removed, leaving 5 unpaired electrons in the 3d orbitals. This matches the given magnetic moment of 6.06 BM, which corresponds to 5 unpaired electrons.
So, the overall charge of the complex is -4: the Mn²⁺ ion contributes a charge of +2 and the six $\mathrm{NCS}^{-}$ ligands contribute a total charge of -6. When you add these together, you get -4. Hence, $x = -4$.
In summary, the $[\mathrm{Mn}(\mathrm{NCS})_{6}]^{x-}$ complex has an overall charge of -4, meaning x = -4.
So the numerical value of x will be 4.
Number of ambidentate ligands in a representative metal complex $\left[\mathrm{M}(\mathrm{en})(\mathrm{SCN})_{4}\right]$ is ___________.
[en = ethylenediamine]
Explanation:
Ambidentate ligands are ligands that can bond to a metal atom through two different atoms. They can attach through one site or the other, but not both at the same time.
In the given complex $[\mathrm{M}(\mathrm{en})(\mathrm{SCN})_{4}]$:
$\mathrm{en}$, or ethylenediamine, is a bidentate ligand, meaning it can form two bonds with the metal ion, but it is not ambidentate because it always binds through the same two nitrogen atoms.
$\mathrm{SCN}^{-}$, on the other hand, is an example of an ambidentate ligand. It can bind to the metal either through the sulfur atom ($\mathrm{S}$) or the nitrogen atom ($\mathrm{N}$).
Since there are four $\mathrm{SCN}^{-}$ ligands in the given complex, the number of ambidentate ligands is 4.
The spin only magnetic moment of $\left[\mathrm{Mn}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{6}\right]^{2+}$ complexes is _________ B.M. (Nearest integer)
(Given : Atomic no. of Mn is 25)
Explanation:
The spin only magnetic moment of the $\left[\mathrm{Mn}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{6}\right]^{2+}$ complex can be calculated using the formula:
μ = $\sqrt {n\left( {n + 2} \right)} $ Bohr magnetons
Where n is the number of unpaired electrons in the complex. To find the number of unpaired electrons in $\left[\mathrm{Mn}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{6}\right]^{2+}$, we can use the electron configuration of the Mn ion:
For Mn2+ : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d5
From the electron configuration, we can see that Mn2+ has 5 unpaired electrons. Thus, the spin only magnetic moment of $\left[\mathrm{Mn}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{6}\right]^{2+}$ is:
μ = $\sqrt {5\left( {5 + 2} \right)} $ = $\sqrt {35} $ = 5.9 Bohr Magnetons
The nearest integer to 5.9 is 6.
Hence, the spin only magnetic moment of $\left[\mathrm{Mn}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{6}\right]^{2+}$ is 6 Bohr magnetons.

In the following brown complex, the oxidation state of iron is +_____________.
${[Fe{({H_2}O)_6}]^{2 + }} + NO \to \mathop {{{[Fe{{({H_2}O)}_5}(NO)]}^{2 + }}}\limits_{\text{Brown complex}} + {H_2}O$
Explanation:
To determine the oxidation state of iron in the brown complex ${[Fe({H_2}O)_5(NO)]^{2+}}$, we need to analyze the ligands and their charges, as well as the overall charge of the complex.
Step 1: Understanding the Complex
The complex is:
$ {[Fe({H_2}O)_5(NO)]^{2+}} $
Iron (Fe): The central metal atom whose oxidation state we need to find.
Ligands:
5 Water Molecules ($H_2O$): Neutral ligands (charge = 0).
1 Nitrosyl Group (NO): Can have different charges depending on its mode of bonding.
Step 2: Assigning Charges to Ligands
Water ($H_2O$): Neutral ligand, so it contributes 0 to the overall charge.
Nitrosyl (NO): Can act as:
NO$^+$ (nitrosonium ion) with a +1 charge.
NO (neutral molecule) with 0 charge.
NO$^-$ (nitroxide ion) with a –1 charge.
Step 3: Setting Up the Oxidation State Equation
Let $ x $ be the oxidation state of Fe.
The sum of the oxidation states of all components equals the overall charge of the complex:
$ x + (5 \times 0) + (\text{Charge of NO}) = +2 $
Simplifying:
$ x + (\text{Charge of NO}) = +2 $
Step 4: Determining the Charge of NO in the Complex
In the brown ring complex, experimental evidence shows that the nitrosyl ligand acts as NO$^+$. This is because:
The NO ligand forms a linear bond with Fe, characteristic of NO$^+$.
The complex is known to involve a reduction of the oxidation state of Fe to an unusual value.
Thus, Charge of NO = +1.
Step 5: Calculating the Oxidation State of Fe
Substitute the charge of NO into the equation:
$ x + (+1) = +2 $
Solving for $ x $:
$ x = +2 - (+1) = +1 $
Therefore, the oxidation state of Fe in the brown complex is $ +1 $.
Conclusion
The oxidation state of iron in ${[Fe({H_2}O)_5(NO)]^{2+}}$ is +1.
Spin only magnetic moment ($\mu$s) of ${K_3}[Fe{(CN)_6}]$ is ____________ B.M.

$\mathrm{CoCl}_{3} \cdot 6 \mathrm{NH}_{3} \Rightarrow\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{6}\right] \mathrm{Cl}_{3}$
Only $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{4} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right]$ can show geometrical isomerism. Hence can exist in cis-trans form.
